We don't get to see them nearly as often as we would like and we love when we get a chance to catch up with old friends. Troy and Gloria were at Circleville Bible College with Ron and I. Troy and Ron actually looked at engagement rings together and asked us girls within months of each other. In 2000, they graduated in the same class from CBC and a month later Ron and I were married, another month later we attended Troy and Gloria's wedding. The following fall found all of us in Jackson, Mississippi at Wesley Biblical Seminary together. If it weren't for Troy and Gloria, we may not have made it in Mississippi. There were days when Jackson was overwhelming and just the thought of having neighbors who we new before the move was encouraging. We shared many meals, laughs, tears, stories and even fears. We still share cockroach stories (I'll save those for another time). The guys again graduated together in 2004.We are also all a part of the Evangelical Church of North America. Ron and Troy are both ordained. They went through that process together as well. So pretty much Troy and Ron do everything together and Gloria and I just follow them around to keep them in line :)
Their little girl, Charissa, was born 2 weeks before Nathaniel. Our boys love Charissa and playing with her. She used to be called, "Kissa", but much to Troy's delight, the boys have figured out how to say Charissa!
We love to have the Diersings come to our house. They will be moving this summer and will actually be closer to us, so we're excited to hopefully see them more often.
